While it wouldn't divulge its source for the information, the site was quick to point out that details came from a real-life Apple insider. Ooo, it must be true.

Apple apparently mentioned "product transition" at a recent AGM and the discontinuation of non-touchscreen iPods could be exactly that. The move would make the iPod Nano the company's lowest-end product.

With tipsters coming out the woodwork left, right and centre, the reports appear to have some weight. We'll find out more on 4 October, should Apple decide to bring it up at the iPhone 5 event. ®
